Border Of Greek Camp

Hundreds of migrants stranded at a makeshift Greek camp protested near the border with Macedonia on Sunday, demanding that the border be opened as they clung to hopes of making it into Europe despite new EU moves to send some refugees back.

Hopeful refugees flooded back Sunday to Greece's overwhelmed Idomeni migrant camp on the border with Macedonia, creating confusion, after rumours that the closed frontier would be forced open.

Hundreds of migrants marched out of a Greek transit camp, hiked for hours along muddy paths and crossed a rain-swollen river to get around a border fence and cross into Macedonia, where they were detained on Monday, authorities said.

Refugees and migrants stranded at Greece's border with Macedonia vowed to stay put on Tuesday, hours after the European Union and Turkey hailed a tentative accord to stop a scramble by hundreds of thousands of people to reach Europe from war zones.

Thousands of refugees are stuck on Greece's border with Macedonia, overflowing from a packed camp into the surrounding fields, as they wait for Macedonian authorities to let them continue their trek through the Balkans.

Hundreds of migrants and refugees left an accommodation camp in northern Greece today, preferring to walk to the distant border with Macedonia in a bid to continue their trek to northern Europe, local police said.
